Next comes the mayonnaise, now I grew up with Helman’s but since moving south I now use Blue Plate. Use whatever mayo you like.

Start with getting a cast iron pan onto the stove over medium heat. Give the cast iron time to come up to temperature.

Spread mayonnaise onto one side of the bread. Be sure to coat the entire slice from side to side.

Place the side with the mayonnaise down onto the cast iron pan. Yes I said down. I love mayo, so I then spread it on the top side of the slice that is on the pan.

Next add the cheese. I like mine cheesy so I go with two slices over lapped so there is cheese all the way to the edge.

Then add the top slice of bread and spread mayonnaise on the top, making sure to coat the entire slice from side to side.

Cook until browned, about 5 to 6 minutes turn it over and cook on the other side about 2 -3 minutes.

Remove from the grill and slice it up and enjoy. My mom always cut across, so that is the way I like mine. If I am making one for my son he likes his diagonal.

Funny how some of the small things make a huge difference in how you enjoy your food. I hope you enjoy!
